grief is often seen as a measure of love.do you think buddha's sermon undermines a mother's love ? justify your response
Answers
Grief is a measure of love for those who are not enlightened and still are trapped in the 3d matrix. According to Buddhism, every thing in this 3d world is only temporary, soul is everlasting. Say, when a person passes, the mother of tha that person feels extremely painful and cries her eyes out and probably passes out, while the mother of another person that passes cries but holds her emotions balanced. You probably think the one that passes out loves her child more than the mother that doesn't cry as much. While for some cases or maybe even in most cases that's true, you can't judge that the mother who doesn't cry much doesn't love their child as much as the other mother. This mother could be a spiritually enlightened who understands and accepts that 3d physical life is only temporary, just a stop where the soul stays temporaririly before the transition, which is death, of the child to a new life. She understands that her child's soul is still there it will never be gone. Therefore, she can control her emotions and hold her tears. She knows that her child's spirit is still around, and they may meet after she dies or during the next reincarnation.
Explanation:
Buddha's sermon does not undermine a mother's love. It tries to make the mother realize the bitter truth of life. She has to accept this harsh reality.
